Flax Seed Chutney...end of one of the dramas!!

Flax Seed Chutney…I have a seed hater at home!! And a healthy fad food hater as well…any attempts to feed him anything even remotely healthy results in
long long long arguments…so when I bought flax seeds and started adding them
(whether whole roasted or ground) to various things, you cannot even imagine
the ruckus…and I eventually gave up…till while cleaning up I discovered an
unused packet of flax seeds…didn’t have the patience to go through the drama
all over again so went on the net to see if I could find something which I
could try...found a lot of chutney powder recipes using flax seeds but all of
them had coconut in it (he is not a fan of coconut either) and then Saada
Punjabi Puttar Chef Sanjeev Kapoor came to my rescue…this is his recipe with a
couple of changes…came out absolutely fab and ‘you know who’ is loving it as
well…
